#writes down any complaints or suggestions Jayce has for her to send to the union since he is technically the only financial provider

ok so single parent!jayce/jayvik au is on a mini hiatus (like only 1 month which is nothing. you won’t even feel it) but i am curious on what y’all think about what the general conflict will be

obviously, Cait is displeased with her teacher and legal guardian being in contact with each other to discuss her (no change here), but how she goes about trying to stop them is the real question 👀

one option i was thinking was Cait spending more and more time with Mrs Ambessa Medarda, her neighbor Mel’s mother. after a second or third meeting/conference/text/call —whatever those gays are doing— Jayce reaches out to Mel to help tutor Cait with her studies

(hence, more Ambessa screen time)

however, Mel is also a pretty busy woman, so cannot tutor Cait everyday, which she sadly expresses to Jayce some weeks after agreeing because it’s beginning to overwhelm her work schedule. until her mother interrupts and offers to tutor Cait on the days Mel cannot

Jayce is overjoyed

Mel wants to be too, but holds her tongue because (sideplot) maybe her mother has changed and grown out of the lady she remembers from her childhood

thus, Cait gains a new tutor (someone of whom she’s already had a liking too because of her bluntness and unapologetic nature) and incidentally becomes her confidant where she complains about Jayce and Viktor’s new “partnership”

turns out Ambessa is not only an amazing academic tutor, but an amazing war strategist (who knew! definitely not us) and begins to give Cait some tips on how to sabotage their plans to “fix her” (<- her fear because she is 12)

eventually the story starts to have Jayce try to weed Cait away from Ambessa with Mel and Viktor’s help, but of course Cait doesn’t understand why because she is doing what they asked and her grades are improving but now it is wrong

and then my other option is basically:

Cait inserting herself into the jayvik meetings while giving Viktor the stink eye

Cait trying to be subtle in changing Jayce’s mind on continuing to talk to Viktor

Cait telling Viktor about Jayce’s Ph.D thesis as a distraction away from her because she knows he also has a fascination with the same topics as her legal guardian (and Cait is very aware on the long tangents Jayce can get into)

and then Cait finding Viktor at her house one day drinking tea in the kitchen with Jayce

the worst of all privacy breaches for a parent-teacher conference (they actually were talking about Jayce’s thesis)

and then it keeps happening

Cait is in heavy denial that there’s something going on besides falling for her distraction plan

but then Ximena makes a comment about love and 12 year old Cait blue screens before deciding “wait no actually how do i reverse time”

Cait seeing Viktor smiling softly at his phone during class: STOP FLIRTING WITH MY LEGAL DAD

so yeah idk 🤷🏻‍♀️
